Senior Silicon Photonics Test Engineer at NVIDIA

We are part of the global engineering team at NVIDIA that designs state-of-the-art GPUs for all applications, such as supercomputers, gaming consoles, and self-driving cars. Come join us in our mission to Engineer the next generation of best-in-class products. Our team's focus is on the architecture and design of CMOS and Silicon-Photonics high-speed chip interfaces (NVLink, IEEE, PCIE, USB, OIF) and other complex photonic functions.

We are seeking a senior level, self-driven professional with proven expertise to develop leading-edge test solutions for silicon photonics (Si Ph) integrated circuit designs in the growing data center and high-performance computing markets. You will have the opportunity to work on developing high-speed active and passive photonic components and contribute to the development of the next-generation photonics program.

What You Will Be Doing:

• Work with photonic device designers, other test engineering and design validation teams to perform full test and device characterization of silicon photonic devices.

• Lead hardware engineering to conduct and develop high speed optical test.

• Develop codes for Silicon Photonic test stations and automation.

• Partner with module developers and design teams to do electro-optical testing of the modules.

• Collaborate with external instrument vendors to ensure seamless software and control integration.

• Work closely with hardware and software teams on functionality, interfaces, and documentation.

What We Need To See:

• PhD in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a similar discipline with 5+ overall years of working experience in a related field. Or master in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a similar discipline with 8+ overall years of working experience in a related field on optical systems or opto-electronics devices.

• Extensive experience in microwave and high speed optical system testing.

• Knowledge of optical systems, modules, components, and photonics devices (lasers, detectors, modulators, transceivers, DWDM system.)

• Experience in test programing (Python, Lab View, .net, etc.) with various instruments for semiconductor device testing, wafer probers and/or optical module testing.

• 5+ years of experience measuring, analyzing, and debugging complex mixed-signal designs

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

• Strong interpersonal skills and ability & desire to work as a good teammate.
